SOUTH AFRICA, 1989. In a deeply divided country on the brink of change, two women from vastly different backgrounds share an unlikely friendship.
Sofia Levantis, a Greek-Cypriot immigrant, longs to keep her family close, but when her children want to leave South Africa, the future she's imagined begins to slip away. Meanwhile, Grace Molepe, Sofia's housekeeper and trusted friend, pins her hopes on her son's education and a future where he'll no longer be treated like a foreigner in his own country.
When their children's lives become entangled in ways neither woman could foresee, the fallout threatens not only their dreams, but also the friendship on which they've come to rely. Into this turmoil, a priest from Sofia's past arrives from a remote Greek monastery. His quiet presence steadies Grace, yet unsettles Sofia as long-buried secrets rise to the surface. But in this fractured world, where a nation and hearts are coming undone, can his prayers hold the pieces together, or will the past refuse to let go of the present?
Spanning a time of upheaval and transformation, Under an African Sky is a story about friendship, family, forgiveness, and the fragile, resilient threads that connect us, even as the world around us unravels.
